NOTE

FEATURES OF AN E-MAIL ADDRESS

Every e-mail address has a single format which is based on the standards developed for the Internet mailing systems since the 1980s.

  1. Username: Every email address must begin with a username, which is the name that uniquely identifies the owner of the e-mail address. It could be a personal name, a company’s name or any other name related to the user. Examples, bosede, micah24, president-obama, wabpeditorial.

 

  1. The “At” sign: The username is followed by the ‘At’sign which is represented by the symbols @ to identify the origin of the mail address. Example, micah24@, wabpeditorial@, etc.

 

  1. Website Address: This is the website from which the e-mail address was created i.e. the service provider of the e-mail, e.g. Yahoo, Hotmail, Google, etc. For example, bosede@yahoo, micah@hotmail, wabpeditorial @yahoo, etc.

 

  1. Website Extension: This shows the kind of website the e-mail is created from and for what purpose. Examples, .com meaning commercial, .org meaning organisation, .netmeaning network, .ng meaning Nigeria

A complete e-mail address having any of the features listed above will look like this [email protected]; which shows that the e-mail address was created on the commercial website Yahoo.

 

PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH E-MAILS

  1. E-mails can only be sent or received by users with computers, ipads or phones that have an Internet connection.
  2. Using e-mails is not free, there is a cost attached to it i.e. the user must subscribe to an Internet provider.
  3. E-mails can be hacked into by unwanted and unauthorised persons to access and steal private information about individuals.
  4. Individuals are now forced to receive unwanted or spam mails from other individual persons or organizations.
  5. Unwanted or spam mails can be a source of virus infection into personal computers.
